SOME REFORMS.

The country is certainly on the upgrade
of moral reforms, at least in the matter OF
national and state legislation. Among the
more important measures passed upon by
the present congress was the anti polygamy
bill, which is the most sweeping OF any
action by congress on that subject Inc
failure of the effort to remove the internal
tax on LIQUOR is another item in the same
line. And still another was the passage
Monday by the senate of bill prohibiting
she transmission through the mails OF
newspapers and other Periodicals contain
ing advertisements of lottery schemes.
The postoffice department has been wrestl
ing with this last monster OF evil for sew
eral years, and if the government shall at
last be able to throttle it thousands OF
people who have suffered from want OF
the common necessities OF life by reason OF
its pernicious. robber influence and effects
will rejoice in its destruction.
The action of our state Legislature touch
ing the liquor traffic is of too recent date

taken in answer to the demands of the
people on that subject.
All that is hoped for from these and
other measures designed for moral refor'
nation and safeguards to society will not
be accomplished, but their effects upon the
moral tone of the community will be
wholesome and beneficial and must bc felt.
The total adjustment Of social evils
through legislation alone can never be ac-
complished, else the mission Of the Great
Reformer to earth had not been necessary,
but legal restraints can and must be ex-
ercised and enforced upon the evil propen-
sites of those who may he outside of or in

THE GOOD OLD CUSTOM GONE.
MilledeeyiIle- Recorder.

We don't hear of any old-fashion-
ed corn stockings now a-days. 1t
looks like our people are letting go
all the good old things and reaching
after something that's new. After
while they will want to do away with
Christmas; and it's mighty nigh come
to that already, for they don't seem
like the Christmas we had before che
war. Now, this thing is getting too
monotonous, and we call halt We
can't have corn stockings when we
don't make the corn to shuck. We
can't have "quiltin's' and dances
like we used to have, when the girls
went halt distracted all the time to
get to town before the fashions give
out, and the boys too busy picking
cotton, to be running to town to get
a soft place before store counter.
But by all the good there is left in
us, don't let Christmas get mixed up
in this craze after fashion and money
so that it will come and go and leave
no sign. Oh, no; take care of Christ
mas, boys and girls-treat it kindly,
thoughtfully, and some of these Gays
when you get to be old men or wo-
men, or even mothers aud fathers,
the plesantest part of all your memo
ries will be found in recollections Of
Christmas and its pure, unselfsh
joys. Now don't forget these admo-
nitions. They come from one who
has been there himself, and would nj
give up the memories OF merry Chris
mas days, tor all the mockeries that
greed and gold would substitute.

New uses for che shoe Ruttoner,

1t is singular fact that nine out Of ten
Of the buns and tramps brought into the
station house have on their person shoe
buttoner. No matter what kind Of shoes
they wear, still they have one of these
simple instruments. Lieut.. HamhrOck
decided week ago to make q collection
of the shoe buttOners taken from the
prisoners brought into Bremen street
station. In the seven days they numbered
eighteen, and like young ladies do with
Their strings Of buttons, he attached them
together He has now q chain some
three feet In length. A peculiar thing IS
that the hook end Is bent into variety of
shapes. The penchant for having button
ers attracted the attention of the detect
ives long ago, and it happened to strike
some bright minded policeman that
the little instrument could be made
to do the work Of skeleton key, as
far as the locks In common use were con-
cerned. In reality, the shoe buttoner, to-
all intents and purposes was converted
into o. burglars tool, and still could be
readily passed on as q necessary imple-
ment In arranging ones toilet. The pos
session Of q skeleton key Is serious
offense and carries with It conviction ola
penal term. The law, however, cannot re-

article, and still the evil Intending are as
well fortified with 1t as with the burglars
favorite tool, since, when properly shaped,
It does the work equally asfwell, The ex-
pert can pick 3 lock with one Of these
little iron hooks with as much facility as
the had q skeleton key, and yet ifcaught
with it in his possession enjoys immunity
from the statute covering the OfTense.
Tjsuallv when enc Of these Instruments a
away, or perhaps given back Il the owner
Is released No doubt In the course OF q
year several hundred are taken up BY the
police. The am0unk OF theft that could
be traced to them would very probably
prove startling. Cincinnati Enquirer.
